As part of “Weekend of Welcome” festivities to kick off the 2024-25 academic year at Lancaster Bible College, new freshman and transfer students had the opportunity to meet representatives from several area churches during LBC’s annual Church Fair.
Lancaster Bible College is committed to helping students find churches where they can engage, serve and worship—in additional to the spiritual growth they experience at LBC.
Within LBC’s vibrant faith community, students, faculty and staff not only learn from each other but also from local pastors and ministry organizations during chapel gatherings three times per week.

What happens outside the chapel, however, is an integral part of who LBC has been over its long history in the community, as students become plugged in and engaged with the many local churches that call Lancaster County home. The annual Church Fair is just one way the college seeks to introduce students to local churches where they can find a place to call their church home—not on Sunday morning but also in serving capacities.
